In some plants, the pistils don’t Form until a few days after the stamens do.How might this keep a plant from self pollinating

Physics

KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago
3 0

For a flower to be pollinated, pollen from an anther (which is located at the top of the stamen) needs to reach a stigma (at the top of the pistle.) Some plants are genetically capable of pollinating themselves if their own pollen reaches their own stigma; some plants are not capable of self pollination under any circumstances.

For plants that can genetically self pollinate, but would prefer not to, they can avoid this by having their pistil and pollen/stamens mature at different times. If the stamens mature first, the pollen will be dispersed by animals or wind or whatever dispersal mechanism it relies on. Then by the time the pistil is ready to be pollinated, there is no pollen left in that flower to land on the stigma.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In 2019 was taken the first image of a supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M87 with the Event Horizon Telescope, which is a network of radio telescope located in different points of the Earth, with the purpose of making a telescope of the size of the Earth.

A radio telescope is an antenna that is capable to perceive the light in the radio part of the electromagnetic spectrum¹.

It is important to notice that in the picture what it can be seen is the effect that the black hole has in the nearby stars.

Key terms:

¹Electromagnetic spectrum: decomposition of light in its different wavelengths (from radio waves to gamma rays).

At exactly 3:14PM, the velocity of a dog running in a park points toward a group of flowers. Which of the following best describ
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Options A, B, and C are all possible.

Explanation:

We know that the instantaneous velocity of the dog at 3:14PM is possitive to toward the flowers. But what about the acceleration to toward the flowers?

If the dog is decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is negative toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points away from the flowers.

If the dog is increasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is positive toward the flowers, hence (since F=ma) the net force points toward the flowers.

If the dog is not increasing nor decreasing speed at 3:14PM, it means that acceleration is 0, hence (since F=ma) the net force is null and it does not point neighter to toward the flowers  nor away from the flowers. This happens when the forces acting on the dog are equal to both sides.

How will a wave change as it moves from a layer of higher velocity into a lower layer of lower velocity?
denis-greek [22]

Explanation:

Wave is defined as a disturbance or oscillation that travels through space-time, accompanied by a transfer of energy. Wave motion transfers energy from one point to another, often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium.

The velocity of wave is equal to the product of its wavelength and frequency (number of vibrations per second). Longitudinal waves like sound waves travel through a medium.

Therefore, a wave move from a layer of high velocity to that of a lower velocity the wavelength changes (that is, decreases) as it moves.
